Blog Traffic and Income Report November 2017

I cannot believe we’ve already reached December. 2017 has definitely flown by so quickly and I feel like each year after this one is going to fly by too.

Today I am going to share with you my very first blog traffic and income report as a new blogger.

I started blogging at the end of September, however, I created The Hustling Budget when I was sick home from work in May. It had taken me four whole months to create my blog, create content for it and make it look as pretty as possible.

My lifestyle is always busy, so at times I do find it hard to write posts and promote my content. I work every day of the week and even after I have finished work, there is still always something to do.

When I get to work on my blog, I feel incredibly happy. It is my little baby and biz.

So here’s how November went down.

This post contains affiliate links, where I earn a small commission and are provided at no extra cost you.

Traffic for November 2017

I received 1,892 views for the month of November and I am SUPER thrilled. During October I only received 777 views. I am so happy that my views increased. They did go back down again towards the end of November, so I need to keep my views consistent.

My bounce rate is quite high too, so I am looking and finding ways to bring that down as well.

One of my pins on Pinterest went semi-viral, which brought in most of my traffic and it also brought in 35 new subscribers. Yay! I was so happy to see new people join in and read my blog.

This was the Pin that generated the majority of my traffic for November.

Income Report for November 2017

I’m thrilled to announce that I made 29 cents during the month of November! I was pretty happy to see that I had earned some income, even if it was teeny tiny.

How do I earn 29 cents? Through Media.net advertisements. Yay!
